2.3 WATER CONNECTION
Before connecting the machine, for the right model, please refer to section 2.1 “Technical Specification".
Temperature of the water supply (models without water softener)
°C
55
Temperature of the water supply (models with water softener)
°C
30
Hardness of the water supply (models without water softener)
7-12°f, 4-7°d, 70-120ppm
Hardness of the water supply (models with water softener)
>12°f, >7°d, >120ppm
Pressure of the water supply (models without water softener)
kPa
200/400
Pressure of the water supply (models with water softener
)
kPa
300/400
Connect the water supply to the machine using a stop valve that is capable of shutting-off the flow of water quickly and
completely.
Make sure the dynamic pressure of the mains water is between the values written on the table.
If it is lower than 200 kPa (models without water softener) or 300 kPa (models with water softener), to ensure the perfect
operation of the machine, it is mandatory to install a pressure booster pump.
If the mains pressure is higher than 400 kPa, you need to install a pressure reducer.
The temperature of the supply water must be between the values indicated on the
table. Each machine is supplied with a water filling hose with
threaded 3/4” fitting.
The drainage hose is to be connected, after adding a siphon, directly to the
drains. Do not fit the drain hose into the drains of sinks, bathtubs etc.
Note: drain must be on the ground, otherwise machine must be equipped with a drain pump.
Make sure the water hardness is between 7 and 12°f, otherwise install a water softener to prevent damages caused
by scale, which are not covered by warranty.
(On models with water softener hardness can be 7-26°f, refer to section 2.1)
Models with water softener built in:
please refer to section 2.1 “Technical
Specification". You need to regularly regenerate the resins using special
regeneration salt.
The salt container can take approximately 1 kg of grain salt.
The salt container is located on the bottom of the tank. Switch off the machine, drain out the water tank, take the basket out,
unscrew the cap and pour salt in using the funnel supplied with the machine. Before screwing the cap back on, remove any
spilled salt near the opening. Top-up with salt when there is no water in the tank so that the washing water cannot get into the
water softener. Always unplug the machine from the mains power supply before doing this operation. Remember to plug the
appliance back into the mains socket after finishing the operation.
The first time you use the appliance, after adding the salt, add some water to the salt container.
Note: for water with hardness above 12°f, if there is no scale inhibitor, the damages caused by scale will not
be covered by the warranty.
2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection must be carried out according to technical standards currently in force.
Make sure the measured mains voltage matches that written on the technical data nameplate of the machine.
You have to fit an appropriate omnipolar protection circuit breaker switch suitable for the input of the machine.
This switch must be used exclusively for this utility and installed right next
to it. Make sure the electrical systems are suitably earthed.
The machine also has a connection, at the rear bottom part, marked with the equipotential symbol
that is used to
connect various appliances together equipotentially (check standards on electrical systems).
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INVERT THE PHASE WIRES WITH THE NEUTRAL WIRE, WHILE CONNECTING TO THE POWER
OUTLET.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE SHOULD GET DAMAGED, IT MUST BE REPLACED EXCLUSIVELY WITH A NEW
ONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR FROM AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE AND BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICIANS.
